CRAB CAKES IN AIR FRYER

These crab cakes are simple and allow the sweet lump crab to shine. These even have a slightly healthy twist because they are cooked right in your air fryer.

If you prefer to pan fry your crab cakes, feel free to do so. Just heat oil in a skillet over medium/high heat then pan fry the crab cakes to golden brown on each side.

Can I use other types of crab meat?
Lump crab is the meat from the crab’s back legs (it is typically more flavorful than the other parts of the crab). Lump crabmeat will make for the best crab cakes.

Storage Instructions:
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge. Eat within 2-3 days.

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
16 ounces lump crab meat I used Philip’s brand from Costco

Add mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper to mixture then stir until smooth.
Gently fold the crab and green onions into the mayonnaise mixture and mix until well combined.

Air Fryer Donuts

Nicole Harris — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 20:10:34 +0000

These Air Fryer Donuts are a healthier way to enjoy homemade yeast donuts, Krispy Kreme style. Make them Glazed Donuts, Cinnamon Sugar Donuts or Chocolate Glazed. Recipe instructions for air fryer and standard oven.

Air Fried Doughnuts

Can donuts be made in the air fryer? Yes, you absolutely can. . . and should. Air Fried Doughnuts are easy, tasty and healthier than the deep fried version.

These donuts can be cooked in your air fryer or oven. I think the air fried donuts turn out slightly better. Probably due to the quick and hot baking in the air fryer. It makes them puff up and get a bit more airy than in the oven.

Either way these homemade baked yeast donuts are fantastic. Glaze or top them however you prefer. I love these dipped in a simple vanilla glaze, making them Krispy Kreme style. Along with vanilla glaze this recipe also includes chocolate glaze and cinnamon sugar options.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Donuts From Scratch (screenshot for grocery list)

• All Purpose Flour
• Granulated Sugar
• Active Dry Yeast
• Large Eggs
• Salt
• Unsalted Butter
• Oil – Nonstick

How To Make Doughnuts In An Air Fryer

Combine warm water and yeast in measuring cup. Let sit in warm area for 5 mintes to proof yeast. Combine flour, sugar, yeast/water mixture, eggs and salt int large mixing bowl. If using a stand mixer use the dough hook attachment to mix on a medium speed for around 8 minutes or until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl. You can also do this by hand using a wooden spoon, dough whisk or similar.
Leaving the mixer on a medium speed, add the softened butter a little at a time making sure to fully incorporate the butter into the dough each time. When all the butter has been added, leave the mixer running on a low-medium speed for a further 5 minutes or until the dough is very smooth and elastic. If you’re not using a mixer, knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and leave the dough to rise and double in size. This will take approximately 1 hour depending how warm your kitchen is. It may take up to 3 hours if your kitchen is very cold.
When the dough has risen, punch the air out of it and put it in the fridge for 24 hours. *See notes.
When you’re ready to cook the donuts, line three baking trays with floured parchment paper.
Roll the dough out until it is about 1/2 inch thick then use a 3.5 inch donut cutter (orsomething round, like a glass) to cut 15 donuts out of the dough. I then used an upturned piping nozzle to cut the donut holes from the middle of each donut. Anything small and round will work just as well.
Transfer 5 donut rings and 5 donut holes to each baking tray, leaving space in-between them. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for an hour or so.
Meanwhile make your toppings.
To make the chocolate glaze, put the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and milk into a small bowl and whisk together until smooth.
To make the Cinnamon coating, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, melt the butter – you will use this to brush the donuts with later to give the cinnamon sugar something to stick to.
To make the vanilla glaze, put the butter, sugar and vanilla into a small saucepan and melt together. When it has melted add the hot water a tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches a runny consistency.
Lightly grease the tray of the AirFryer with oil.
When the donuts have puffed up, carefully transfer them into the AirFryer, you should be able to fit 3 or 4 depending how big your AirFryer is.
AirFry at 350ºF for 2 minutes then flip them over and AirFry at 350ºF for a further 2 minutes. The donuts should be golden brown in color. Repeat with the remaining donuts and holes.
While the donuts are still hot add the various toppings: Dip some of the donuts in the chocolate and vanilla glaze. Brush the others with the butter that you melted earlier and dip them into the cinnamon sugar. Do the same with the donut holes.

How Long To Cook Doughnuts In An Air Fryer

This will depend on your air fryer. Cooking time varies depending on each air fryer brand. I have owned several different air fryers and each brand cooked very differently. Use this recipe as a guideline or starting point and adjust depending on your air fryer.

I would start by cooking the donuts 2-3 minutes. Flip then cook 2 more minutes. At that point they should be done or may need 1-2 more minutes depending on your air fryer.

How To Store Air Fried Doughnuts

Let them cool completely. Store in an air tight container or covered securely with plastic wrap. Donuts are best when enjoyed the day they are made, but, will last 1-2 days when properly stored.

What Type Of Glaze Is Best For Donuts?

I love these dipped in a simple vanilla glaze, making them Krispy Kreme style.

The kids will love the chocolate glaze with sprinkles.

And you can’t go wrong with a cinnamon sugar donut.

Are Air Fryer Donuts Good?

Yes! They are great!

Now, I do feel the need to say that these are not going to be 100% like the deep fried version. If only. They are a really wonderful alternative if you are trying to cut back on those fried foods.

The air fryer cooks the dough fast and hot, making these donuts light and airy. So close to fried donuts in texture. They are just missing that delightfully sweet greasiness of fried donuts.

Ingredients

DONUTS
• 1/2 Cup Warm Water
• 3 Cups All Purpose Flour*
• 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
• 4 Large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter softened and cut into small cubes
• Vegetable Oil or Nonstick Spray for greasing
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons milk
CINNAMON SUGAR
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
VANILLA GLAZE
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-4 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

To make the donuts:

Combine warm water and yeast in measuring cup. Let sit in warm area for 5 mintes to proof yeast.
Combine flour, sugar, yeast/water mixture, eggs and salt in large mixing bowl.
If using a stand mixer use the dough hook attachment to mix on a medium speed for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is pulling away from the sides of the bowl. You can also do this by hand using a wooden spoon, dough whisk or similar. *If dough is too wet and is dripping, not binding, add more flour a little at a time while mixing until the dough comes together.
Leaving the mixer on a medium speed, add the softened butter a little at a time making sure to fully incorporate the butter into the dough each time. When all the butter has been added, leave the mixer running on a low-medium speed for a further 5 minutes or until the dough is very smooth and elastic. If you’re not using a mixer, knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and leave the dough to rise and double in size. This will take approximately 1 hour depending how warm your kitchen is. It may take up to 3 hours if your kitchen is very cold.

Roll the dough out until it is about 1/2 inch thick then use a 3.5 inch donut cutter (or something round, like a glass) to cut 10-15 donuts out of the dough. Use a donut hole cutter or an upturned piping nozzle to cut the donut holes from the middle of each donut. Anything small and round will work just as well.
Transfer 5 donut rings and 5 donut holes to each baking tray, leaving space in-between them. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for an hour.
Prepare topping/glaze before air frying donuts.
To make the chocolate glaze, put the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and milk into a small bowl and whisk together until smooth.
To make the Cinnamon coating, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, melt the butter – you will use this to brush the donuts with later to give the cinnamon sugar something to stick to.
To make the vanilla glaze, put the butter and sugar into a small saucepan and melt together. When it has melted add vanilla then hot water a tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches a runny consistency. (You can also just microwave the butter to melt then whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla and water)
Lightly grease the tray of the air fryer with oil.
When the donuts have puffed up, carefully transfer them into the air fryer basket, you should be able to fit 3 or 4 depending how big your air fryer is.
Air fry at 350ºF for 2-3 minutes then flip them over and air fry at 350ºF for 2 more minutes. At this point they should be done or may need 1-2 more minutes depending on your air fryer. The donuts should be golden brown in color. Repeat with the remaining donuts and holes.
While the donuts are still hot add the various toppings: Dip some of the donuts in the chocolate and vanilla glaze. Brush the others with the butter that you melted earlier and dip them into the cinnamon sugar. Do the same with the donut holes.
FOR OVEN BAKED DONUTS
Follow preparation instructions for dough.
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Place donuts onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown. Flip once during cook time.

Notes

You do not have to leave this dough in the fridge overnight however the flavor of the donuts will be better if it has a longer slower rise. The donuts will also be much easier to roll out and handle if doing so with chilled dough. Chill at least 3 hours.
• Smearing some vegetable oil on the plastic wrap before you use it to cover the dough/donuts will stop it from sticking.
• If you want to use all of one topping for your donuts then simply triple the topping ingredients.
• Fresh homemade donuts are best on the day they’re made but they will still be good for 1 or 2
days if kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
• You can freeze the donuts (without toppings) for up to one month. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat them for a couple of minutes in the AirFryer at 350ºF before adding any toppings.

Ingredients

1 Lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1" nuggets)
1 Large Egg (beaten)
1 Cup Almond Flour
2 teaspoons Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Chili Powder (optional)

Instructions

Prep ingredients:

Cut chicken breast into nuggets.
Lightly beat egg in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder and chili powder.
Preheat air fryer at 400ºF for 5 minutes.
While air fryer is preheating prepare nuggets.
Coat chicken nuggets bites in egg then dredge in almond flour mixture. Once all nuggets are coated in flour, dredge a second time.
Evenly layer nuggets in oiled air fryer basket and air fry at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Give them a shake about half way through cooking time. (I usually break the largest nugget apart to check for doneness) Do Not Forget To Oil The Basket!

Video

Notes

This recipe yields approximately 12 nuggets - 2 servings.

If doubling this recipe, nuggets need to be air fried in 2 separate batches to ensure a crisp outer coating.

These are best eaten fresh. If reheating, air fry for 2 minutes at 400ºF to crisp back up.

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Air Fryer Chicken Legs – Whole30, Paleo

I’m obsessed with my air fryer. The thought of deep-fried style foods without all the extra fat obviously appealed to me. But, honestly I was skeptical. I hesitated buying an air fryer because I though Yeah Right! Plus they are more than I like to spend on a kitchen appliance that I’m not sure will deliver. Luckily I got one for Christmas!

And guess what!?!? My Power Air Fryer XL works great! Now, I’m not going to say that the food turns out exactly like deep-fried foods. But it’s pretty darn close!

How Do You Cook Drumsticks In An Air Fryer

It is very easy to cook chicken legs in an air fryer. For standard sized drumsticks it takes 25 minutes at 400ºF. You want to cook the chicken until it reaches 165ºF internal temp. Just toss once during the air frying process. Toss with the sauce towards the end.

These Buffalo Chicken Air Fryer Legs have that crispness on the outside that you just can’t get with oven baked chicken legs. And they cook up really quick and juicy!

If you don’t own an air fryer (yet) no worries. You can make these Buffalo Chicken Legs in the oven too.

What sauce should you use:

I use Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce because it is so widely available and easy to find. Tessemae’s Buffalo Sauce is Whole30 approved. Or if you are feeling motivated, you can always make Homemade Whole30 Hot Sauce.

Of course, if you are not following a Whole30, Paleo diet . . . use whatever buffalo wing sauce your heart desires!

What ghee should you use?

I was ordering 4th & Heart Ghee online and I do like their product very much. But, I recently began using ORGANIC VALLEY Ghee because I can find it at Target and other grocery stores. I have found it to be comparable to 4th & Heart. Or again, if you are feeling motivated, you can always make Homemade Ghee ← I’ll be super impressed if you do! ????

Of course, if you are not following a Whole30 or Paleo diet . . . use ghee or butter.

What tools do you need for this recipe?

You will need a Power Air Fryer XL (if you do not own an air fryer, these chicken legs can be cooked in the oven).

Angled Tongs will come in super handy because these chicken legs get HOT in the air fryer!

I highly suggest using a meat thermometer. Then there’s no guessing if the chicken is cooked through.

If you do not own an air fryer just cook these up in the oven (they will not have that great crisp coating) Preheat oven to 425ºF. Lightly oil bottom of a 2qt roasting dish. Generously salt and pepper chicken then transfer to roasting dish. Bake for 25 minutes. (make sauce during this time) After the first 25 minutes, spoon sauce over chicken. Return to oven and bake 10-15 more minutes or until internal temp reaches 165ºF.
Serve these Buffalo Chicken Legs with carrots, celery and this Whole30 Ranch Dip (make it with less liquid for a thicker dip).
I use chicken legs instead of the typical chicken wing because I prefer the meatier piece. Chicken legs are also very affordable and easier to eat.
I prefer to remove the chicken skin. If you’re into the skin, feel free to leave it on.
